    You’ll be taking customers to work, meetings with friends and family, to the beach, historic landmarks and major sporting and entertainment events.

Drivers work an average 35 hours over 4 days a week, however, during training you will work 40.5 hours over 5 days a week.

More than 15 billion trips later, we’re building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities
